I have nothing to add and no words to describe this greatness.
Just ,WOW!
Just ,WOW!
This episode just left me feeling empty! After what happened in Ozymandias, you just feel hopeless, like nothing matters!
This episode sees both Walt and Jesse strugling as thry slowly breaks and become a shadow of their former selves! They both feel like they have lost everything and are just looking for that purpose to keep fighting! Both actors are phenomenal as well! Aaron Paul does a haunting and emotional scene of someone who completely shatters!
This episode made me feel sad for Walt more than ever! All he ever wanted was to take care of his family! That is his one goal now! All that matters!
This episode is also last time we see Saul! You wanna know what happens to him? Go watch Better Call Saul!

In this episode there is more shock of course not as shocking as the previous episode but this episode shows that this last episode is going to be legendary. There is so much to be concluded. This episode is easily described with one word heartbreaking. Jesses life is at an all time low I won't say what all happens but it is all showing how great this last episode is going to be.
I'm just hoping to god that this last episode has complete closure. It's been a long journey and it saddens me that it is going to end only a week from now, may everyone know this is the greatest television show of all time and will remain in my heart and mind for the rest of my life. Thank you for reading my review.

This episode was insane, especially the ending. Its script is a real gold. The main theme of this series is played in just one scene in the whole 5 seasons, and that scene had to be one of the greatest moment of TV history, just as it is. I really don't know what to say about it, but I know that I can not forget this episode (and the last scene) for a long time. Breaking Bad should be teached at the movie schools. While most of the other shows gets worse, BB gets better with every new season until the very last second of the series.
One of my favorite "Breaking Bad" scenes occurs in the closing moments of "Granite State". Walter White sits there at the bar, weakened by chemo and utterly hopeless, witnesses his former business partners smearing his only remaining legacy on "Charlie Rose". It's bad enough he's stuck in the New Hampshire mountains, can't get his money to the people that need it, and the police are on their way to arrest him. But that one last blow to his ego is just the right spur to reignite his will. And you can just see the fires of an exploding sun behind Cranston's eyes, it's a hell of an image. And it does a fine job of teasing the final episode where who-the-hell-knows will happen.
If "Ozymandias" was about violently razing the Heisenberg empire, "Granite State" is about the very depths of that pit of despair; not felt just by Walt, but almost everyone around him. It's sad on a very different level.
9/10

- TriviaParts of the final phone call between Walt and Walt Jr. had to be filmed a second time because the original production footage was partially destroyed during shipping as the film canister fell out of the containing truck and was crushed by a 737. They wound up inter cutting between the original shooting and the re-shooting.
- GoofsWhen Walt sits in the bar at the end, he orders a neat Dimple Pinch. The bartender pours about a fifth of a glass. Two minutes later there is a shot of the glass, which is now not only smaller than the last one, but also half full. The scene ends with a shot of the glass Walt ordered from the beginning combined with cops in the background. This continuity error was caused by the loss of a canister of film and parts of the scene having to be re-shot.
